Saldana, thirty-one-years old, took classical dance for eleven years and her classical dance training led to her first movie role as a ballet dancer in 2000’s Center Stage, a movie about twelve young dancers hoping to be chosen to join the American Ballet Company.

Star Trek fans are eagerly awaiting the sequel to 2009’s Star Trek XI, but even the actors involved in the J.J. Abrams sequel aren’t sure when shooting will begin.

Star Trek 2 is due to be released next year and while Pegg knows that he’ll be Scotty again in the sequel, he has no idea as to when shooting will begin. “Hell yeah! Of course, I’m Scotty – but I don’t know yet, [we’ll start] probably end of the year or beginning of the next.”

While on the set of The Jensen Project, Burton spoke about father-daughter bonding, via Trek or other TV shows. “”I love it when I hear women say they watch Star Trek with their fathers,” he said. “Mica [Burton’s daughter] is not a huge science fiction fan, although when she was little she could identify the different versions of Star Trek just by looking at them. She knew the difference between The Next Generation and Voyager and Deep Space Nine.”

William Shatner recently tweeted that he is recording a song from Queen that may lead to a new record.

Although Jeri Ryan has moved on to other projects, her memories of working on Star Trek: Voyager are good ones.

Seven of Nine was a outsider character, along the lines of Spock, or Data and that was part of what made her unique. “It was part of watching her looking at humanity from a different, outside perspective,” said Ryan. “She was trying to regain her humanity and relearn it, so she was very child-like in a way.”
